Meriden police have identified two children killed in weekend car crash as a 5-year-old girl and her 8-year-old brother.

Authorities say Tatiana and Lorenzo Cruz died after their car was rear-ended by an SUV shortly before 2 a.m. Sunday. Police believe alcohol and speed were factors.

The children's parents, Michael Cruz and Gina Schroder, as well as 12-year-old Alejandro Schroder were injured. The boy is Schroder's son and Cruz's stepson. Their conditions weren't disclosed. Alejandro Schroder is in intensive care.

Twenty-nine-year-old Israel Gonzalez of Meriden is scheduled to be arraigned Monday on reckless driving and other charges. Police expect to file more serious charges.

Gonzalez has been detained on $1 million bail. It's unknown if he has an attorney.
